Choice Home Warranty air conditioner

The coil on my Air conditioner went out and my technician specifically told them it was not from rust. They denied the claim because of rust. This is the second claim in a year they have denied because they say it wasnt covered. I will NEVER use them again. This was a complete waste of my money!
Choice home warranty is a RIP off they find a way to deny every claim!

Choice Home Warranty hvac

Started 6/18/2018
Repaired 6/26/2018
Recall 7/22/2018 - Found wire from capacitor installed 6/26 was not attached.

AC Tech made an error which caused system failure. Choice declined coverage claiming rust and corrosion. Second opinion obtained, confirmed error by tech caused failure, not rust and corrosion. Even AC Tech's own notes on 6/22 and 6/26 noted no leaks and no rust and good refrigerant levels. Photos below.
Choice will not answer phone or email. Christine Evans is case mgr who will not respond by phone or email.

Onsite AC and Heating company held for hours 7/26 and finally had to hang up. They instructed me to submit his opinion on my account and have them call. I've held for three hours on 7/24 and was disconnected. I have on hold today for over 2 hours 50 minutes and will probably be disconnected at three hours again. A claims specialist and consumer advocate need to contact me.

Customer Number [protected]
The Lynell Smith, owner of A Devoted Care was authorized to complete repair does not have a license number that appears with Texas Department of Licenses and Regulations and he refused to give it to me. A/C Tech that did work that gave me license number 45777 does not match his name given or on the phone records submitted to Choice.

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is to confirm the owner, Sonia Wolfrom, of 11 Grey Birch Place, The Woodlands, Texas 77381 has maintained her HVAC equipment annually. She is a responsible homeowner going above and beyond to maintain her home and ensure routine maintenance service visits are completed. She is conscientious about maintenance to prevent breakdowns from occurring.
Upon her request, I inspected the unit today to provide a second opinion to determine the cause of the present mechanical breakdown. The record indicates on 6/26/2018, Andre, with A Devoted Care replaced the capacitor on the unit. On 7/24/2018, Andre reported he found the wire to the capacitor he replaced on 6/26/2018 had come off. He reconnected the capacitor and found the system to now have a leak in the condenser. It is unknown how long the wire was off of the capacitor; therefore, the impact to the condenser coil and compressor is substantial. The capacitor being disconnected would prevent the condenser fan from functioning and cooling the system properly. It would also cause the refrigerant pressure to increase to a much higher than normal operating pressure and cause the present leak. According to the service record provided by Andre with A Devoted Care on 6/22/2018, (copied below) at 3:04 pm clearly acknowledges there were no leaks in the unit when he previously serviced the system and the refrigerant pressures were within normal ranges.
In my professional opinion, the improper installation of the capacitor has caused the condenser coil to fail and quite possibly has impacted the compressor. It was caused by the extremely high pressure when the condenser fan was not functional but the compressor was running. The coil did not wear out because of wear and tear. It certainly is not from rust, corrosion or lack of maintenance. To suggest Ms. Wolfrom did not maintain the system is false and inaccurate as her records and our company records clearly demonstrate she complied with the annual service noted as a requirement by Choice Home Warranty. You would be hard pressed to find a company that would suggest this particular unit was not maintained.
The unit originally had a mechanical failure in which case, Ms. Wolfrom contacted your company for repair. Unfortunately, it appears your service technician made an error which does sometimes happen. However, the homeowner, Ms. Wolfrom should not be penalized by the error. The warranty company or the technician Choice contracted to repair the system originally should do so at their expense. Feel free to contact me should further information be required. I am willing to restore the system for Ms. Wolfrom should you want me to do so.

Regards,
Danny Burgess

Resolution. Choice should repair the problem as their technician's error caused it. There is no rust and the system has been maintained. The part is a covered part as long as the system was maintained which it was and written records prove so.

(06/19/2018): Good afternoon,
Angel AC representative Miguel Soto indicates you are requiring photos before you will approve the repair for the items indicated on his repair recommendation ticket. He will not return until 4-7 pm today. What do you need from me to speed up this process? From my conversation with Miguel, I have pulled my maintenance records for him to review as I have had an annual review of the system completed by licensed contractors and the system was in good mechanical working order until this issue. I don't want this to be a situation where the repairman comes out and then you are closed and a decision cannot be made. Please advise.
Thanks,

How late is the department open today that Miguel Soto must submit photos to for approval for repair? I want to be recognizant of the time to ensure he submits what you need.

This is not the service I recall receiving when I requested service in the past. It has been a year and three months since I last requested service and I've recommended ya'll to several people who purchased coverage. So, this really is not what I expected. I did not receive a letter of determination as your email indicates above. Please let me know what that determination is. What's the big secret. For heaven's sake, I purchased a service contract and maintained my property by the guidelines Elliot, my sales representative advised, have now requested service and receive this song and dance business. Please contact me via email and via telephone. I will express my concerns to the consumer advocate as well when he or she calls back. [protected]

CHW Representative:
(06/20/2018): Good morning,
It is reaching lunchtime in your time zone. The authorization department has had time to review the photos and the claim for the AC repair. I have maintained the unit and for Choice to drag their feet is not acceptable. I am reading online many reviews that indicate this is standard operating procedure which is disappointing.
I have contacted the local five stars rated company who last serviced my account for a letter noting the regular maintenance of my one and only a/c unit at my home of which I will have later today. They inspected the unit yesterday and are willing to provide a letter about the routine and regular maintenance of the unit. I plan to submit a complaint along with this letter to the Texas Real Estate Commission, the local television stations and the various other complaint boards available to me, today. I have medical issues, am a post cancer patient, a teacher, and simply do not have the money to stay in a hotel. I paid for this service and in good faith maintained the unit and records to be in compliance with the requirements of Choice Home Warranty. Your representatives stated yesterday I was sent a letter of determination. I responded that the only letter received was one stating the claim was under review. I requested a consumer advocate contact me and I was assured someone would call me if not last night, first thing this morning. That has not happened. I've now contacted my local real estate agent who owns 11 offices here and around the surrounding Houston area who works regularly with Choice Home Warranty and will be reaching out to the local CHW representative. This is Texas and it is hot. I ask that you please cover the repair and let the owner Miguel Soto of Angel AC know about the repair. It is nuts that a person must be put through this nightmare to receive coverage. Please contact me asap.
Sonia Wolfrom
(06/20/18 11:49 AM) Shana Zulin: Thank you for your email. Please be advised we have forward your email over to our consumer advocate department per your request. Thank you again for your patience and for being a valued customer of Choice Home Warranty.rn
CHW Representative:
(06/20/2018): I'm checking on a reply whether you will cover the claim or not. I have reputable people in place to repair my system if Choice chooses to default on the contract. Please advise. Authorization has had more than 24 hours to approve the claim since the last submission of photos from the technician. I would like a smooth and positive resolution to this matter rather than becoming a statistic. The New Jersey Attorney General's office has requested I please, please submit my claim in writing as this is a daily phone call they receive, my state legislator, Mark Keough, has been notified and I will proceed accordingly with the repair. There is no excuse for Choice dragging their feet other than to make me suffer and potentially have the system repaired by someone else. I will wait but in the meantime, I will continue to pursue all methods available to me to report this situation. It is wrong.
(06/20/18 02:50 PM) Velma Batts: Thank you for your email. Please be advised once your appeal has been seen by a case manager you will be notified. Thank you for being a valued customer of Choice Home Warranty.

(06/20/18 04:40 PM) Velma Batts: Thank you for your email. Please be advised your claim has been approved. You can call the technician to schedule a follow up visit.

(06/21/2018): After a dozen or more voice mail and text messages beginning at 3:45 yesterday, Miguel Soto, the owner of Angel AC just sent a text message that he is refusing service and to not contact him again. Please advise what to do.

He messaged at 11:11 am stating he is refusing service. He clearly must have made this decision yesterday. This situation is impacting my health. Please advise what to do. Thank you.

(06/21/18 12:38 PM) Velma Batts: Thank you for your email. We are looking for another technician. We are not an emergency service company and do not provide same day service. Should you need further assistance, please contact us. Thank you.
CHW Representative:
(06/21/2018): This is not same day service. This started last weekend, was reported Monday 6/18 and the owner of Angel AC was given approval on day theee and his is day four he decides to refuse service. This is not right. Miguel Soto, the owner of Angel AC could have refused yesterday instead of wasting another day. He assured me earlier in the week he could have me back in service the same day you gave approval. Please ask a customer advocate or a supervisor to reach out to. A vendor who
Can come today or at the worst tomorrow. This is horrible. My dog is having to go to the vet and I'm not doing well with it either. This is CHW's irresponsible and unprofessional vendor that's has caused this delay. Please help. ASAP.

CHW Representative:
(07/25/2018): I am now realizing ya'll went back to the other claim form to correspond. So, now I'm submitting my questions to both locations.

Good morning,

Did you decide whether Choice will cover the freon repair? I have a local air conditioning company coming today to provide a second opinion. I have been told by multiple people that had the serviceman with A Devoted Care had checked his work as a trained professional is taught to do, the wire connection would not have come loose. His error caused the fan to quick working and the system to heat up. I was gone for nearly two weeks and I have no idea how long his mistake impacted my unit. One thing is certain though, there was no freon leak three weeks ago when A Devoted Care repaired the system and has not been one on the previous annual system service and maintenance checks as designated in writing on the annual service check receipts. Please advise asap as I'm sure you can hear on the news Texas is experiencing a heat wave. I am a cancer patient and will be having back surgery in the next two weeks and need this issue resolved.

I've requested a phone call. That does not happen. I stayed on hold for three hours yesterday and then Choice disconnected me. This is awful service.

Kind regards,
Sonia Wolfrom

If you're receiving a 2nd opinion the technician will have to submit his diagnosis to [protected] and provide the claim # prior to any replacement or repair we'll proceed accordingly based off the diagnosis
CHW Representative:
(07/25/2018): Please provide the license number and insurance information of the serviceman Andre, from A Devoted Care.
Please provide the license number and insurance information for Angel A/C Services.
Please provide the name, address and phone number for the insurance carrier for Choice Home Warranty.
It is my understanding I need to request all of these things in writing. I will look them up on my own as well. I am still patiently waiting a response from Choice but all I can get is a robot computer to respond. Hence, I will file my complaints with the State of Texas licensing boards and the New Jersey Attorney General's Office since I cannot seem to obtain a response from Choice. I've declared what has happened, and at this point Choice is in default. Please respond.

Did inspection and wrote a second opinion but Christine gave is not a fax. Will you please call him or provide additional information so he can
Send you what you requested.
Sonia Wolfrom
(07/26/2018): I have emailed Christine Evans at [protected]@choicehomewarranty.com and uploaded the second opinion from Onsite AC and Heating since the number you provided as a fax is a phone number to hold for hours. The owner said he held for a while but cannot stay on hold all day. I remained on hold for three hours two days ago and then Choice disconnected me. The phone records prove that. We need a resolution to this immediately.
Sonia Wolfrom
(07/26/2018): This claim needs to be escalated to a claims supervisor. It's my understanding that a case manager is not the same as a claims supervisor. I would like to speak to an account claims supervisor regarding this matter. I have called and held for hours without an answer. Choice to needs to contact me so this issue can be resolved one way or the other, [protected].
Sonia Wolfrom
(07/26/2018): I've started my hold process once again with Choice Home Warranty. We will see if I have to hold for three hours like two days ago to then be disconnected. I'm on hold.
Sonia Wolfrom
(07/26/2018): How do I get my claim before a claims supervisor? How do I get a return phone call or a response about the situation?

I requested the license and insurance information from the phone numbers and people you provided and told me to use to obtain
license and insurance information.

I asked Andre for his last name. He said I would find it with his license 45777. Andre, the service technician said his number is 45777. I
explained to him that number says it belongs to Cornelius U Ruth. Andre said that was his name. He would not tell me his last name but said
his name was what I was seeing online. He would not provide insurance information and said he did not have to and that I could hhave my
attorney call his attorney. I asked for his attorney's number and he would not provide a name.

Lynell Smith called as well. That is who Andre works for at A Devoted Care. He would not provide his license or insurance information. Our phone
call was interrupted when he said he would call me back that Choice was calling him back on the other line.

I have not heard back from him or from yall.

This claim needs a claims supervisor. It also needs a consumer advocate. Please have both contact me immediately.

Sonia Wolfrom
P.S. I've now been on hold for nearly 15 minutes with no answer.
Sonia Wolfrom
(07/26/2018): At 2:39 pm, CST, I have been on hold for one hour 23 minutes.

The failure of Case Manager, Christine Evans to get back with me is unacceptable. The robots that answer the calls and send a generic message including a message stating I am being denied coverage for a water heater when the issue is an air conditioner, and the ability of no one to answer the phone at Choice Home Warranty, leaves me no choice but to pursue assistance through other entities. This is not an avenue I want to pursue but Choice will not respond and leaves me no Choice. Choice is in default at this point for failure to respond in a timely manner. This is terrible customer service and a terrible experience.

Choice Home Warranty policy

I had sign up with Home Warranty's on April 2018 I switched because they seem to offer air conditions plumbing and other things. After I signed on I had to place a claim on a air condition with Choice Home Warranty and they sent someone out there that had no clue of what he was doing charge me $60.00 copay and tell me is the thermostat but was not the thermostat it was the actually unit. So they sent a technician that is not air condition certified has no clue on what he is doing insist on the thermostat and wants to charge me 265 for moving my thermostat to other place on the wall so I ended calling other technician to install the thermostat it was cheaper to call other tech. OK so the new tech. tells me he does not want to give or send his report that he needs to do his own,. so he installs it and checks it and say's it never was the thermostat it was the unit. So I call the guy and he ask me to sent the report and estimate that the other tech did, so he not only cost me money charges me a copay for doing nothing he misdiagnosed my problem and cost me money. I call in the company I tell them I want to refund or cancel my policy and refund my because then they told me they don't cover the air condition and I said yes is in your coverage description. and they go around and around finally offer to refund me 250 plus next service call I don't have to pay for copay but none of this is recorded so I call in to have them to check my plumbing system and now they say they don't cover it and I got really upset and told them they also have on the description of the services offered but they don't cover, so at this point they tell me they are no refunding nothing so I got I am furious and caused me a lot of head ache, money and lost of stress in top of the wasted time. They are scammers they got to sign me up for a whole year and don't want to refund me anything, I told them I was going to report them to the BBB and they said we are covered because you haven't read the fine print, so in other words they are legal scammers!. The Home Warranty's are not honest. Each and every time I called for approval I got the same run around. This made me so anxious and upset, because they can't care less about how you feel. Please I do not recommend them please shop around for other options. They are scammers. So, Stay away from Choice Home Rip-off and truly want to see and expect to see them also on Dateline or 20-20 or some news show soon.

Choice Home Warranty can't log in

it only gives me 2 choices, submit new claim or check on a claim. I want to file a complaint about the contractor that was sent to repair my fridge. he fixed one problem, but another one happened before he left, you will not cover the second one which is fine I would pay for it. But he makes an appt. then does not show up or call. it has been two weeks, going on three. He said he would come last Friday at 11.00 I had to leave at 12:00 he rescheduled for 4, did not show up. he was here twice last week and took a part off the second time after he said he would order a new part. The time he took the part off, he said he wanted to be sure he got the right part. He told me that he would be here today between 11:00 and 2:00 after 2 I called him, he said he is moving and would call me when he was done. I have to leave at 5:30. I think he is very unreliable. and I would not recommend him to any one, I am going to report him to the BBB. You need to probably take him off your list of service people. I just need him to bring the part he took off and I will call someone else to make the repair. Very Sincerely, Loretta brown contract number [protected]. Plus I can't find his company of the web, or in the phone book which tells me a lot.

Choice Home Warranty harassing phone calls

I have been checking on home warranties and made the mistake of going on their website and giving my information. Since then I have been getting 3 to 4 calls a day from a privately contracted sales group for their product.
I have asked several time for them to stop calling and yet they continued.
In hindsight I know that their bbb standing is horrible! Many complaints!
How do I get rid of these horrible people?

Choice Home Warranty payment not received

I am a contractor and Choice Home Warranty called me to help them with 3 emergency calls. In good faith I did all 3 calls. I never received payment. I have called over 3 times. I keep getting different stories..( manager will call me back to discuss, check will be mailed, etc.) The last time I called the lady was very rude and told me they are not paying anything and told me to go ahead and report them to collections they did not care! And she hung up on me. Furthermore usually all their customer claims are denied. What a scam! Both for the contractor and customer. The state of New Jersey needs to step in and take action on this rip-off company!

Choice Home Warranty telemarketing

This company used to be my warranty company. I went through a divorce and have sold the home. I no longer own a home and have told them that. They however call me more than 30 times a day trying to get me to renew. How many times do you have to tell them stop calling before they will stop? Thank god for call protection from my phone service provider that just logs these repeated spam calls and don't let the phone ring.

Choice Home Warranty rejected air conditioning claim #[protected]

I recently had my AC rplacement claim declined by Choice, The technician said that the compressor shorted to ground and because the unit was 30 years old it should be replaced. Choice chose to reject the claim based on rust and corrosion that the technician said was typical and would be expected on a 30 year old unit. I appealed the decision and according to the adjuster, Chardonic Odan, The unit failed because it was 2 lbs. low on refrigerant and was leaking. This is not what the technician told me he reported to Choice. The unit was working fine the previous day and he could not get it to start because it kept blowing fuses. He told me it was impossible for him to report any refrigerant level because the compressor needs to be running to test it. He said there was no indication to him that it was leaking. I asked him to send me a copy of the questionaire he sent to Choice but he could no longer access it because the claim was closed. He did send me an invoice with his diagnosis which says the short was a result of normal wear on an older unit. It says nothing about refrigerant levels or leaks. I asked Ms. Odan to send me a copy of her report and she refused. She kept going back to your rust and corrosion exclusion. It sounds to me like someone at Choice based on a picture was looking for a way to reject the claim because the technician says he thought it should have been replaced. He said all older units will have some level of rust or corrosion even when properly maintained. I was asking for some reasonable offer from Choice and was offered an insulting $300, which I refused. I asked Ms Odan to speak to her superior and was told she was the final arbiter. I then told her I felt that Choice is falsely advertising that they cover units regardless of age when they know they can invoke the rust exclusion on almost all old units. I told he to immediately cancel my policy and if another penny was drafted from my account, I expect a check for $4000 to cover my new unit. I left American Home Shield to try Choice and I made a huge mistake in doing so. You have lost a customer and I will tell everyone about my horrible experience with Choice. You probably could have kept a customer if you had made a reasonable offer.

Choice Home Warranty a/c repair

I requested service on my AC unit. They sent out a local company who cancelled list minute. Another company was sent out. They condemned the unit stating that the refrigerant line was blocked. Unless the contractor has X-ray vision how could he determine it when the compressor would not start ? Then on top of that they requested preventative service records, so I had my LICENSED CONTRACTOR send a letter stating that the unit was properly maintained. That was not good enough and they won't tell me what is acceptable. STEER CLEAR OF NO CHOICE HOME WARRANTY...

I am sure the information and lack of response for repairs on the part of Choice home warrantee listed below says it all. Our family's health has been directly effected as a result.

(06/23/2018): I just wanted to confirm since we never heard back from a repair technician . To verify you have the right contact number it is [protected]. Thanks and hope to hear back soon.

(06/25/2018): We submitted this claim for no A/C three days ago and have had no responses form any repair service. It is well over 100 degrees daily and intolerable at this point. Please explain the delays and give us a service tech ASAP.

(06/25/18 12:49 PM) Jessica Exilus: Thank you for your email. We apologize for the delay. Please be advised that our dispatch department are diligently working on getting a technician to assess your unit. At times or technicians are overloaded with work.

CHW Representative:

Please make sure someone is available at the covered address at that time. For your reference the phone number for S & S MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS is [protected]. Upon the technicians arrival you will be required to pay a $45.00 service call fee.

CHW Representative:
(06/27/2018): I have no idea why I received a message stating that my claim status had a missed appointment . That is simply inaccurate. A technician from S&S mechanical came to my home as scheduled and I met with him at that time . Unfortunately the service call went bad with the tech creating a conflict causing me to talk to his supervisor to resolve. I explained that the tech was argumentative and basically just trying to sell me new A/C units and not addressing my needs for the repairs. The supervisor was professional and courteous but the entire experience was upsetting and unfortunate. We have waited four days with no A/C in over 100 degree heat in our area. I must admit at this point I am disappointed in the service and lack of follow up to our repair needs. Please have someone contact me by phone if you have questions regarding this matter.

(06/27/18 11:45 AM) Danielle Hyppolite: Thank you for your email. We apologize for your experience and have forwarded this to the appropriate department.

CHW Representative:
(06/30/2018): I would like an explanation as to why we have gone over a week with no follow up repairs to our A/C unit under this submitted claim. We had a very negative experience with the original service company that was rude and argumentative and came out seemingly only to try to sell us new A/C units. I am sure this is reflected in our account notes. We have never had any follow up service or contacts since we brought these concerns to your attention. I has been in access of 100 degrees daily and portions of our home are intolerable due to the heat levels. Please schedule this repair ASAP and give us a status update on when we can expect the service.

(07/01/18 12:49 PM) Ashley Turner: Thank you for your email. Please be advised your claim has been sent to our dispatch department to secure another technician. We apologize for any delay this has caused. Thank you again for your patience and for being a valued customer of Choice Home Warranty.rnrn

I concur! The last time I needed them, it took a week. I have an emergency in my kitchen. I've been calling & texting since yesterday morning. However, they have taken my monthly premium. It might cost a little more, but I'm going to another company.

Choice Home Warranty I cancelled policy # [protected].

I called Friday, May 18, 2018, to sign up for coverage. A man by the name of Ralph answered the phone. After he explained the details he asked for payment of $33.75. I purchased a Walmart gift card and sent the payment of $33.75. He also said if I wasn't satisfied I had up to 30 days to cancel, and a refund of $33.75 will be returned to me. I called and Cancelled several times: 1st-spoke to Melvin on 5/22; and 2nd-spoke to Ryan on 5/31. Called 6/19 to Confirmed if a cancellation was processed. Melvin said that refund takes between 7-15 days. He said it was processed 6/1. Please send me my refund of $33.75.

Thank you

Choice Home Warranty customer service and general contract

I WAS a new customer to Choice. In the 8 months since joining, I have submitted two claims- one for a water heater and one on an AC unit. Both were denied. The customer service on the 1st calm was pretty good- timely, polite and I understood the denial. The second claim on the AC unit was TERRIBLE from day one. I had to find my own tech (which I understand) -- no return phone calls, I submitted emails to link and no return contact. My tech submitted pictures, as requested, and no response. Finally after 18 days, I called in and after 2 hours on hold, I got thru. The nice woman on the phone explained they showed no record of pics being submitted but she would put me on hold and look into it. It was 4:45 p.m. She came back on and said, well the pictures are here but have not been viewed. I will expediate this claim and someone will get back to you. Well within 15 mins I got a form letter saying : Sorry - Denied. 15 mins! Now really.
I had 2 tech companies out to diagnosis, which I paid for. If Choice is just going to routinely deny claims, why put your customers thru this. I called the next day to cancell policy and this very nice agent convinced me that I needed to file an appeal and just have the claim viewed by a case manager. WOW- that was an experience. As a former school superintendent, when something reaches the stage of a case manager, it usually with the intent of having a fair minded person reevaluate and listen to the client. Not the experience I had. It took most of the day to connect with Tanisha, which I understand she was busy with other claims. By the time she called me in the evening, I felt like I was subject to the frustrations of her day. I found her tone hostile and basically she was telling me - the claim has been denied- no if ands or buts- so why did I even waste my time filing the claim. She basically just read the denial email that had been previous;y sent to me. I do not call that a fair reevaluation. I cancelled my policy, after Tanisha tried to "fairly" convince me that I had already pd for the policy and I might as well just leave the policy intake until it expires. She told me there would be no "refund" of the unused portion of the contract life. I told her I did not care- please cancel because as far as I was concerned I had no coverage anyway. Okay- then I get a follow up email saying my policy has been cancelled and I should receive an applicable credit of fees within 15-30 days. I'm exhausted dealing with the back and forth. I just feel like the customer service has not been of quality, and the basic contract seems to exclude almost anything that I would need coverage on. Greatly disappointed.

Choice Home Warranty hvac contractor

I am a licensed certified HVAC contractor in Alabama. This company is a fraud! They owe me money for work performed and refuse to pay! It takes over an hour wait time to get someone on the phone and they deny legitimate claims! I accepted 13 jobs from this company and they denied 12 out of 13 claims! Legitimate claims from customers that need their A/C repaired! My last conversation with them said they would send me a check in 365 days from now!

I am filing a class action lawsuit! Anyone who reads this and has been done wrong by this company, please call and join me on this class action lawsuit! My direct number is [protected].
